據(jù)羅家英介紹，香港八和會(huì)館于1953年注冊(cè)成立，以宏揚(yáng)傳統(tǒng)粵劇藝術(shù)為宗旨，積極向公眾推廣粵劇，也關(guān)注粵劇演員及從業(yè)員的專(zhuān)業(yè)發(fā)展，在八和會(huì)館主席汪明荃博士的帶領(lǐng)下，積極推動(dòng)各項(xiàng)保育及承傳工作。八和粵劇學(xué)院開(kāi)辦青少年粵劇訓(xùn)練班、器樂(lè)伴奏班及鑼鼓班等，并與合作伙伴合辦不同的在職演員培訓(xùn)課程，以及與不同中學(xué)合辦初中粵劇藝術(shù)課程。與此同時(shí)，八和也積極參與社會(huì)公益服務(wù)，如“八和送暖到臺(tái)灣”“八和愛(ài)心獻(xiàn)南亞”“八和同心暖四川”等，并于2009年成為慈善團(tuán)體。

據(jù)了解，為保護(hù)、推廣和推動(dòng)粵劇發(fā)展，香港特區(qū)政府把有300座位的“油麻地戲院”和相關(guān)的“紅磚屋”這兩幢歷史建筑改建為一所專(zhuān)為戲曲演出和相關(guān)活動(dòng)，特別是為粵劇新秀和新進(jìn)劇團(tuán)提供演出、排練和培訓(xùn)設(shè)施的全港性演藝場(chǎng)地，于2012年7月17日正式啟用。油麻地戲院希望通過(guò)“場(chǎng)地伙伴計(jì)劃”把場(chǎng)地發(fā)展成培育粵劇接班人的搖籃。八和會(huì)館目前就是油麻地戲院的場(chǎng)地伙伴，正在通過(guò)舉辦“粵劇新秀演出系列”，全方位培育粵劇界臺(tái)前幕后的接班人。目前這一計(jì)劃得到阮兆輝、新劍郎、羅家英、尹飛燕、王超群、龍貫天等6位粵劇界名伶支持，已教導(dǎo)過(guò)百位新秀演員，把粵劇這門(mén)博大精深的藝術(shù)傳授予新一代粵劇演員，將粵劇這項(xiàng)本土非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)發(fā)揚(yáng)光大。

羅家英介紹，他這次在重慶出演的《平貴別窯》之《別窯》選段中主人公薛平貴與王寶釧貧賤不易志，富貴毋相忘，是百世流芳的中華傳統(tǒng)美德的一段佳話。《別窯》一段表現(xiàn)的正是薛平貴出征在即，在三道軍令的催促下，這對(duì)患難夫妻依依不舍馬前道別的感人場(chǎng)景。羅家英說(shuō)，這一選段很好地體現(xiàn)出“先國(guó)后家”的家國(guó)情懷。

中國(guó)劇協(xié)副主席、重慶市文聯(lián)主席、重慶市川劇院院長(zhǎng)沈鐵梅表示，希望通過(guò)川劇和粵劇經(jīng)典劇目的展示，向山城人民呈現(xiàn)不同地域間文化藝術(shù)的異同，加強(qiáng)渝港兩地文化藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域的交流。

On the night of June 6th, “Gathering in Chongqing for Chinese Opera Art—Performance of Famous Artists from Chongqing and Hong Kong”was held in “Longfeng Chengxiang” Grand Theater of Chongqing Sichuan Opera Art Center, jointly held by Liaison Office of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in Chongqing and Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of Chongqing Municipal People's Government.

② 羅家英演出粵劇《平貴別窯》之《別窯》。

③ 粵劇《斬二王》之《拗箭結(jié)拜》。

④ 川劇《裁縫偷布》。

According to Kar-Ying Law, main characters ofBid Farewell to Wang Baochuan of Xue Pinggui Left Cold Kilnwere Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan.They were a couple with permanent love to each other, no matter poor or rich. Their story embodied traditional Chinese virtues, which was handed down to future generations. Bid Farewell to Wang Baochuan showed a touching scene that the couple bid farewell before Xue Pinggui was on horseback. They didn’t want to be separated, but under the urging of three military orders and enthusiasm for defending the country, Xue Pinggui had to leave home and wife. In Kar-Ying Law’s mind,Bid Farewell to Wang Baochuanshowed Xue Pinggui’s patriotic feelings,that is, personal affection was less important than national security when the whole country was in danger.

Shen Tiemei, vice president of China Theatre Association,president of Chongqing Federation of Literary and Art Circles and president of Chongqing Sichuan Opera Art Center, hoped to present the similarities and differences of cultures and arts in different regions to Chongqing people through classic Sichuan Opera and Cantonese Opera, and to strengthen the exchanges of culture and art between Chongqing and Hong Kong.
